About NotebookLM
NotebookLM by Google is an AI research assistant grounded in your own documents. It helps you summarize, ask questions, and generate ideas from your sources.
✅ Pros
- ✔️ AI responses are based only on your source material, which greatly reduces factual errors or “hallucinations.”
- ✔️ Automatically provides citations, linking every answer back to the exact passage in your documents.
- ✔️ Excellent for understanding, summarizing, and synthesizing dense information from multiple files.
- ✔️ Secure and private; your source content is not used to train the model.
- ✔️ Free to use with a personal Google account.
❌ Cons
- ✖️ Its knowledge is strictly limited to the documents you upload; it cannot access the live internet.
- ✖️ There is a limit on the number of sources you can add to a single notebook.
- ✖️ Does not yet support all file types (e.g., spreadsheets, images).
- ✖️ Still considered an experimental product from Google Labs and may change.
